Map not displayed in the browser and mod_tile folder is empty

1

Hi All,

I tried to set MapServer (http://switch2osm.org/serving-tiles/manually-building-a-tile-server-12-04/), the only change was that I replaced planet map with india map (with the same name as planet_osm.pbf).

I did all the steps as explained, once rendered and restarted the apache server...on accessing http://localhost/osm_tiles/0/0/0.png is giving me NOT FOUND ERROR.

When I run "renderd -f -c /usr/local/etc/renderd.conf" I am getting the following console output

sanal@sanal-virtual-machine:~/src/mapnik-style/inc$ renderd -f -c /usr/local/etc/renderd.conf

What does "ls -al /var/lib/mod_tile/" return?

(12 Jun '13, 12:04) SomeoneElse ♦

I have changed the permissions of mod_tile drwxrwxrwx 2 sanal root 4096 Jun 12 10:54 mod_tile

That should allow you to write to it, sure! For info what you should see in the renderd debug output in response to browsing to http://yourserveraddress/osm_tiles/0/0/0.png is something like:

This is the output to

on render the output is

Unfortunately, the next step is probably to try and add some more debug to the rendering code to try and see what's not working.

Even if you're not a C programmer this needn't be too scary since you should be able to copy some of the existing debug messages, and the "make" instructions are contained on the switch2osm page.

I followed tutorial on osm2switch and installed the server on ubuntu 11.10. but I am also getting the similar problem No output is shown on http://localhost/osm_tiles/0/0/0.png. But fortunately maps are available on localhost/osm/slippymap.html page.

Can any body resolve this problem

I was having this problem too, but I think I've found the solution.

The problem is that the tiles are being generated as http://localhost/osm_tiles/0/0/0.png. Of course localhost is translated to the machine you're browsing from, so what that should be is http://tile.mytileserver.org/osm_tiles/0/0/0.png or http://10.10.10.10/osm_tiles/0/0/0.png.

So first thing to do is to set your hostname. I used tile.mytileserver.org eg nano /etc/hostname -> tile.mytileserver.org hostname -F /etc/hostname nano /etc/hosts -> tile.mytileserver.org

Then change the value for <paraeter name="host"></parameter> in /etc/mapnik-osm-data/inc/datasource-settings.xml.inc

If you're using slippymap.html, open that at /var/www/osm/slippymap.html and change localhost to tile.mytileserver.org

Previously I tried changing the HOST parameter in /etc/renderd.conf and the Server parameter in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/tileserver-site so if the above doesn't work, you might want to look at those too.

There are a large number of possible reasons why it might not work: software versions in different distributions, permissions in various places, missing fonts (depending on machine setup), possible apache issues such as the one that @Plutocrat above mentioned, and more.

It's probably easiest to create a wiki page behind your user page describing what you've done, what you've tried and what still doesn't work, and then asking on IRC (#osm should have people with some experience of tile server setup; if it doesn't then try #osm=dev).

(17 May '14, 10:11) SomeoneElse ♦

Yes, it can be anything. The problem is that I am not a programer, and this issue took me all my week and weekend, my nights... it's a beautiful project, but it's useless for designers, business people, someone looking for fun... and it's only because nobody think about the layer that reach non-programers. All what I need is some healthy image to download and use on Virtualbox... like that: http://tek.io/1ge1kuq

Sorry if it is not the right place for post that, but after dozens of installations, searches on google, Virtualbox snapshots, log reads... I quit...

(18 May '14, 08:23) alexlana

@alexlana - the reason why I suggested IRC is that it allows faster communication with people trying to help. Asking here is not wrong, (better as a new question than as an "answer" to a previous one though) but it wouldn't be as fast a conversation.

However, we don't actually know what your problem is yet (beyond "it doesn't work"). That's why I suggested putting some details together explaining it.
